Bancroft selection shocked me: Haddin

Former Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin has questioned why Cameron Bancroft was selected as gloveman for Sunday night's final Twenty20 against India.

Bancroft missed a key stumping opportunity off legspinner Cameron Boyce to dismiss Suresh Raina first ball with the Indian batsman going on to register a match-sealing unbeaten 49.

Bancroft is not a specialist `keeper and while he took the gloves for the Perth Scorchers throughout their Big Bash campaign he remains in the field for Western Australia in first class cricket.

"I'm a bit shocked with the decision to play Bancroft, because Tim Paine had a really good Big Bash, and Peter Nevill's keeping has been outstanding," Haddin told the Sky Sports Radio's Big Sports Breakfast on Monday.

"My feeling is you should pick the best wicketkeeper, because you've got to take those half chances.
